Stand includedHistoryChrysocolla has been known to man since the beginning of recorded history. The use of Chrysocolla was first recorded in 315 BC by a Greek named Theophrastus. It was first used in the process to solder gold and this is where the name Chrysocolla comes from. The name is derived from the two Greek words, "Chrysa" which means gold, and "Kolla" which means to glue. Together they mean "Gold Glue". Chrysocolla has a beautiful blue green color that many people mistake for turquoise and this is why it is often referred to as Peruvian Turquoise. Well-known for its fine quality, Peruvian Chrysocolla is from the famous Lilly Mine, located approximately 200 kilometers south of the capital Lima and 40 kilometers east of Pisco Umay.BirthstoneNot associate with a birthstone but is with many birth months. 20th April - 21st June, 23rd August - 22nd SeptemberMineralogyThis mineral only has a hardness rating on the Moh’s scale of 2.5 - 3.5 Chrysocolla is a mineral that is made from hydrated copper silicate. It usually forms from copper ore. The colors of Chrysocolla range from light green to deep blue. There are other types of Chrysocolla including Agataized Chrysocolla. This means that it is found mixed with chalcedony quartz. Usually Agataized Chrysocolla will have beautiful rings or swirls, just like agate. Chrysocolla is first and foremost a teaching stone. It encourages one to reveal their highest knowledge so that others may learn from it. Chrysocolla is powerful for opening and stimulating the Throat Chakra, allowing one to channel the loving knowledge of the heart to others. It allows for clear communication of one’s innate inner wisdom, even discerning what that wisdom may be. It allows for the expression of what we think and what we feel so we can communicate our ideas, beliefs, and emotions. This way we can bring our personal truth out into the world. Chrysocolla is a stone of wise women everywhere. Worn or carried, it helps women to express their wisdom and experience through writing, painting, music, crafts or acting. Chrysocolla is also a talisman of musicians. It is an excellent charm for learning new musical instruments or joining a choir, orchestra or theatre group, and will give one the confidence to play in public. MetaphysicalChrysocolla is said to be a healing, calming stone, and is even used to attract love. On an emotional level, Chrysocolla teaches the value of both expression and the virtue of keeping silent. This stone’s soothing energy dispels highly charged emotional situations, to allow one’s truth to be shared with wisdom and true communication. Chrysocolla can open bottled emotions that block the mind from thinking clearly while stimulating balance and wholeness. Chrysocolla is a thoughtful gift for someone who is dealing with stress, illness or depression and is a valuable tool for those who make a living speaking. Feng ShuiChrysocolla utilizes Water Energy, the energy of purification and stillness. Water energy traditionally is associated with the North area of a home or room.
